If his seventeen years of experience has taught Craig Lawton only one thing, it's this:
Life is too damn precious to throw away...
It's like, you know those dreams?"
Performing on a stage to a full audience?
When you're in the spotlight, and you look down-
And you realise you're completely naked?
Caught off-guard without a script.
No lines. No cues. No curtain-call.
That's me. All the time.
Ever since I was caught out and exposed.
Betrayed. Shamed. Ruined.
By someone I should never have trusted.
I made a single mistake, and it cost me everything.
My school, my friends, and my freedom.
Mum wouldn't look at me.
Dad took control of me.
I flipped the page and started fresh.
But still, that wasn't enough.
There's nothing I can do now that'd ever be enough.
It's at rock bottom that Sebastian Davis finds me.
I'm his worst nightmare.
He's my best hope.
The ground has not been steady beneath my feet for so long,
I've forgotten how it feels.
And no matter how hard he refuses,
It seems that Sebastian has been fated to remind me.

So Where Does that Put Us (boy x boy)
"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart. Trapped in an abusive relationship and in a school where everyone is scared of him, Justin continues to deteriorate, pinning all his hope on his confused best friend, Ben Fulton. He struggles to keep his family together without them finding out the hidden secret of his sexuality. But the more he fails, the closer he gets to losing himself forever. Ben Fulton doesn't understand what depression is. He doesn't understand why people have it or how to fix it. But when the sudden death of his best friend's sister leaves him feeling empty, he comes too close to comfort with just what depression can make someone do. Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin. But the more he tries, the more his feelings grow for his best friend, and the closer Justin gets to destroying himself.Zakończone
Oh How Times Have Changed
Eighteen. It's that time in your life that's nothing if not subjunctive: the mood you use when something might or might not have happened. It's a time that's full of change. Leaving school. Going to University. Leaving home. Saying goodbye to past people. Welcoming new people. Everything becomes different all at once. Parts are hard. Parts are easy. All of it: unavoidable. *** Approaching the end of his final year of education, Andy Williams feels lost. Life feels directionless and he craves something that he's not sure even exists. Going through the motions of life with no passion left to give feels numbing until he meets a friend that shows him there's light at the end of the tunnel.Zakończone
Tainted Wings
"Why are you so fucking scared of the truth?" He seethed. The truth. I slowly brought my hands up to his face and kissed him. I kissed him with a desperation akin to that of defying death. This is the closest to the truth you will ever get. I needed this. For the first time in my life i found myself wanting someone, needing someone. I needed his words, i needed his cruelty, i needed his insults, i needed every bit of him. **************************************************** A fracture in his facade. Alystair Satori built walls so high he created an unescapable prison for himself.

The schools new player, Romen Abarra, all he's ever known was alcohol, flirting and running from brutal memories. If only they knew why he left home. What started out as flirting and banters between the unlikely pair turns into something consuming, dangerous and unrelenting love in the chaos of it all. #2 fuckboy #1 rich //15/10/2025
A TASTE OF CANDY POISON
A NOT SO INNOCENT 'NERD' SEBASTIAN FERNANDEZ is known as the "nerd" at school though he's not really one. Sure, he's smart, but he hates being called that, especially since he doesn't even wear "nerdy" clothes or glasses. His twin once told him that he looks better in simple yet stylish outfits, and well, he followed that advice. But Sebastian, the so-called "nerd," has a secret. He's gay. And not just gay, he's been in love with one and only KYLLE WINSTON for a long time now. Everything changes when Sebastian is suddenly drugged and raped by his own best friend, MARK ANTHONY DESMOND. For most people, that would've been the end of a friendship, something unforgivable. But in Sebastian's case... he never reported it. He never even got angry. Crazy, right? As if destiny itself was toying with him, Sebastian keeps crossing paths with new people, including ARKIE LEWIS AUGUSTINE, a persistent stalker who eventually forces him to be his boyfriend. So, what will happen to Sebastian now? Will he let himself be manipulated again, or finally break free from the toxic people around him? _________________________________ "We're all just meant to meet each other but was never meant for each other" ________________________________ ♥ PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME ♥WILL DEFINITELY RE EDIT EVERYTHING AFTER I FINISHED THIS BOOK This book might contains some; •Error(yeah since English is not my first language so forgive me and correct me if I'm wrong) •SMUT(yeah I know what you're thinking,but don't report me, I'm begging hehe) •Strong Languages(I mean,some curses like 'fuck','shit',or something like that) •Angst •Cringe(hehe,yeah) •LGBTQ+ •GAY(BL)
Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

(bxb) Siren Song of a Savior (Siren x Human)
I had always been taught that humans were cruel creatures with the intent of dominating the Earth. I never thought I'd meet one, let alone form an attachment. "Stay. Please, Collin. I don't want you to go back." He bites his lip, his flat, human teeth digging into the soft flesh. His crystal blue eyes rake over my figure before he entwines his fingers with mine. He nods. I pull our hands to my mouth. "Thank Poseidon. I don't know what I'd do if you left," I murmur. A small, breathtaking smile graces his lips. This quiet, beautiful boy might just be mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin has been ridiculed his whole life because he doesn't speak. Fueled by his traumatic past, he can't bring himself to open his mouth and say a word. One night, after years of ignorance, he'd been invited to a party on the beach. He thought it was the opportunity of his life... that is, until they tied him to a rock to die with the fish. Finn has always been the outcast, the siren that wouldn't eat human flesh. He was always fascinated by the creatures so similar to him that roam on the land. So when he finds the drowning body of a boy, he can't resist the urge to drag him from the water and nurse him to health. That is, until he finds that he is losing his heart to the human. A vicious fantasy romance between land and sea, human and siren. *WARNING* This book is mature, and some explicit scenes are intended for those of 18+ years of age.

Always light the candles
We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.Zakończone
